Zotac’s crazy new mini PC has six DisplayPorts

Some pint-sized PCs are basically built to turn an otherwise dumb display into a workable desktop. Not Zotac’s new mini system. It can max out an AMD Eyefinity setup thanks to its six DisplayPorts.

That’s the business end of the ZBOX MA761 at the top. Beyond providing at least double the display hook-ups that just about every other mini-PC out there does, it also packs a pair of USB 3.0 ports, dual gigabit Ethernet, and the obligatory antenna connector for its integrated 802.11ac WiFi.

You can also catch a glimpse of the sizable copper heatsink inside that helps keep the MA761’s thermals under control. Processing power is supplied by an Intel Core i3 Skylake processor and AMD’s Radeon R9 M365X (with 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory) handles the graphical heavy lifting.

If you’re not familiar with that particular GPU, it’s a pretty solid performer. The M365X is based on AMD’s 28nm process. It features 10 cores that can be clocked up to 925MHz and it can supply 72Gb/s bandwidth to its GDDR5 memory. The M365x is basically an updated version of the Radeon HD 8850M and it should be able to handle most games at full HD and at least medium settings without too much trouble. Don’t expect to run games in 4K across six displays on this little box, though.

On the front of the MA761 you’ll find a multi-format card reader and a single USB type-C port which flank mic and headphone jacks. It’s not nearly as exotic a configuration as what Zotac did on the back, but the inclusion of type-C is definitely a nice bonus.
